Re: gjpqy cut off while typing

[BNig]

Hi Paul,

I like your idea to use textshift for screenrefresh, no fiddling with
selectedChunk etc.

Just one little change to your code in case textshift has not been set
before. Then textShift would be empty.
Adding 0 to it will not change previous text shift and if textShift has not
been set it will not throw an error.
And a textShift of 0 does not accumulate "textShifts" in
styledText/htmlText.

--
on textChanged
   set the textShift of last char of me to the textShift of last char of me
+0
end textChanged
--

Kind regards
Bernd

Re: gjpqy cut off while typing

[BNig]

One curious observation regarding descents with large textSizes

Regardless of workaround or not: in LC 7.1 when tabbing out of the field the
first 3 letters get their descents "cut off". However if you click outside
of the field to take focus from it everything looks fine.
This affects textSizes of 60, textsize 48 is ok with regards to tabbing out
of the field. (using comic-sans bold)

This does not affect LC 6.7.7 rc 4 nor LC 6.1.3.

So there are two bugs when rendering large fontsizes with descents
The first one affects typing: while typing the descents are not fully
rendered (this can be worked around)
The second affects only LC 7.1: tabbing out of a field cuts off the descents
of the first three letters. (this one I don't know a workaround for) 

Of note:
In LC 8 dp 5 everything works without a hitch, no workaround needed. All
descents are rendered when typing and also when tabbing out of the field.

Sorry if this almost has the length of a Bug-report. :) I did all my testing
on a Mac.

Kind regards
Bernd

Re: What's everyone working on this month? (September 2015 edition)

I am working on v 3.0 of an assessment of paedophile sexual interest for 
professionals working with sex offenders.

I’m sweating a bit because it has to be ready for the Association for the 
Treatment of Sexual Abusers conference in Montreal starting week of 11th Oct.

Im working on the manual just now, using another LC product, what used to be 
Blue Mango’s ScreenSteps.  Not sure what happened to Blue Mango, but for 
documenting a product, it’s the bees knees.  (ScreenSteps is nothing to do with 
me, just a happy user.)

Re: Inter process communication

[Pierre Sahores]

Hello,

Works perfectly in a 100% reliable mode for years :

- Mobile App : HTTP POST to Apache or OpenLiteSpeed Http Deamon
- httpd to Linux LC server in cgi mode
- LC server to MySQL/INNODB or PostgreSQL RDBMS*

*needed to free-up LC-Server from complex requests best suited by ACID-SQL 
servers.

Note1 : in case of Web dedicated development : not to forget to include 
Revigniter in the loop.

Note2 : to code with optimal confort LC-Server stack’s librairies :

- first save them at the web hosting right path;
- reopen them from the FTP-client in choosing LC-Desktop IDE as the default 
editor;
- each command-S action will directly saves changes to the remote path.
- don’t forget to use an LC script.lc to bind together the httpd to the 
LC-Server stack lib.

Have fun,

Hi David,

ScreenSteps is alive and well. It just grew into a SASS product that
companies use for larger support, onboarding, and education projects.

http://www.screensteps.com

I'm actually working on the next major update to the desktop software
component of ScreenSteps. It is used for authoring help articles. I'm
writing it in LiveCode 8.

Re: What's everyone working on this month? (September 2015 edition)

[Roger Eller]

All of my real work is creating and managing in-house applications.  We are
an international company, but my primary focus is improving business
efficiency locally, and in some capacity in my region.

My latest app provides an interface to gather work orders for 5 sites in my
region, and download all required files to produce those orders from a
centrally managed server.  This eliminates the errors associated with
manual processes such as going through the server filesystem and dragging
files from thousands of folders.  Files were constantly being lost, and
folders were lost inside other unrelated folders.  Now, the system is
clean, efficient, and accurate thanks to LiveCode.  No human hands access
the server now.  Just the app.

Apple Color Picker is Screwed Up in El Capitan!!

[Roger Guay]

I just installed El Capitan and found that the Apple Color picker is screwed up 
. . . the color samples go away after one use. And yes, so is the ColorSync 
Utility.

I offer my colorPiquer utility in the interim:


https://www.dropbox.com/s/1arbh6jlm35u68z/colorPiquer.livecode?dl=0 




 Control-click “p”  to palletize, and control-click “e” to edit.




Cheers,

Roger

Re: Apple Color Picker is Screwed Up in El Capitan!!

[Colin Holgate]

Are you talking about the square to the left of the eye dropper, and how it’s 
white if you reopen the color picker? Was it ever different from that? You can 
drag a color you want to keep around into one of the little squares to the 
right. Then the color is still there next time.

Thank you Colin and John,

I went back to review my situation: The top part of the color picker, the 
crayons in particular, disappear after one use in LC 6.6.5 OS X 10.11. No 
problems with LC 6.7.6 nor 7.0.6.

But, the Apple ColorSync Utility is out on my rMBP! Is it working for you guys?

Yes, crayons work fine in my LC 7.1 as well.

The Apple ColorSync Utility is available in the Utilities Folder. I get a 
Profile First Aid pane when I try to use it. However, repairs do not work 
because files are locked.

Re: Apple Color Picker is Screwed Up in El Capitan!!

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

Roger: even on Yosemite, the apple color wheel invoked by LC does not give you 
the correct RGB value when you use it’s eye dropper… it appears to work, but 
the hue is 2-3 “degrees" down on the gray scale from the actual color… this is 
not LC’s fault (at least I don’t think so…) : tested in photoshop, illustrator, 
inDesign and LC… the color that is picked up is *not* the precise color that it 
was on…

I used Eric Chatonet’s color picker and that eyedropper gives the *real* RGB 
value of the color it picks up. 

So, even if it worked in El Capitan… I wouldn’t trust it. 
WYSINWYG  What You See is Not What You Get.

I’m going try your piquer… thanks for sharing.
